Today we looked at the song 'Street Spirit' by Radiohead and analysed the music video they created. We looked at the transitions, order of narrative, pace, special effects, framing, camera angles , movement and Mise En Scene with the music video. Here are some of the notes I made:
Transitions
Slow
Very few transitions
Fade/ Dissolves

Isn't a narrative
Random
No Link
Pace
Fairly slow
Sometimes fast
Focuses on one shot for a long time
